What the critics say:
"The 2024 Phélan Ségur is an absolute delight. Dark and ample, the 2024 offers up a compelling mix of black cherry, leather, game, incense, licorice, gravel and pipe tobacco. All the elements are so well balanced. The blend is 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, in other words, a very high percentage of Cabernet. That comes through nicely in the wine's aromatic finish. Phélan Ségur is shaping up to be one of the highlights of the year. Tasted four times."
"An effortless 2024 from Phélan and one of the highlights of the year. Roses, violets, peonies, red cherries and strawberries. Smells amazingly perfumed. Supple and juicy, really lifted and alive. Has an airy quality to it - tannins are fine and beautifully delineated with freshness but all in balance. Gentle and calm with classic elements of cool mint and liquorice as well as really pure fruit. Not trying too hard. Really well refined. I love it! Full of purity and precision, not big or weighty but you'll be able to drink this so easily. Ageing 55% new oak. 10% press. 60% production. 3.72pH. Tasted four times. A yield of 30hl/ha. 15 different native yeasts were used for fermentation."
"Harvested between September 30 and October 14, one of the latest harvests in the Médoc, the 2024 Château Phélan Ségur is impressive, with a remarkable sense of purity and finesse. Currants, violets, ripe cherries, and spicy herbs all define the aromatics. It's medium-bodied and seamless on the palate, with a pure, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. The blend is 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, from yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare, and it will spend 16 to 18 months in 55% new French oak. It comes in at 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.72. This is an incredibly successful Médoc that should evolve gracefully over the next two decades."
